However, the regime\u2019s collapse last December prompted Algeria to re-evaluate its stance. While initially cautious in its dealings with the new government, Algeria now appears to be laying the groundwork for a new chapter, particularly since it has not taken an openly hostile position toward Jolani\u2019s faction, whose leaders have been received in Saudi Arabia and Turkey.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12367\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12367\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12367 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1095633-1024x803.jpg\" alt=\"Turkey regional diplomacy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"803\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1095633-1024x803.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1095633-300x235.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1095633-768x603.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/1095633.jpg 1142w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Erdo\u011fan mediation in Syria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf, who previously stated that \u201cAlgeria recognizes states, not governments,\u201d is visiting Damascus as part of Algeria\u2019s efforts to establish its position in Syria\u2019s new political landscape.
